Every fire door, with a unique digital identity.
A QR plaque on every fire door, generated in your portal. Print them yourself, or have us print and ship.
Why tag fire doors at all?
Most portfolios rely on spreadsheets, paper logs, and email chains. Compliance evidence floats. Inspection records get attached to descriptions, not doors. That's the problem a QR plaque fixes first, long before you start comparing tag technologies.
Non-repudiable door identity
Every door gets a unique 6-character ID baked into its plaque. No more 'we think it was that door': every inspection is tied to a specific, identifiable door for the life of the building.
Evidence lives on the door
Compliance is physically attached to the fire door itself, not buried in a filing cabinet, a shared drive, or a thousand-message email thread.
Records can't be lost or faked
Every inspection is keyed to the door's unique ID. No mix-ups, no missing folders, no plausible deniability. The Golden Thread starts at the door.
Why QR over RFID or NFC?
RFID and NFC have their place. They're not the right place for fire-door identification on a multi-portfolio scale. Here's why QR wins for this job.
Any phone camera scans it
No NFC-enabled hardware required, no dedicated readers. Every phone made in the last decade can scan a QR code straight from the camera app.
Visible at distance
See it across a corridor and walk up to scan. RFID and NFC need close, often touching contact to register a read.
On-demand from the portal
Generate plaques in the portal yourself, or have us generate them for you. RFID and NFC need provisioning hardware to encode each tag before deployment.
Works on any surface
Including steel fire doors and metal frames. RFID and NFC tags need expensive 'on-metal' variants to work reliably on metallic substrates.
Why ours over the other QR-based platforms?
QR is the right tech. Most platforms get the QR part right and the system around it wrong. Five things we do differently.
Self-service generation
Plaques are generated from inside your portal. No vendor lock-in for printing, no waiting for a third party to send you stock.
Print or ship: your choice
Print plaques in-house on any office printer, or have us print and ship them to you. Pick whichever fits the project.
Live public compliance page
Every scan resolves to a live, public compliance page on doortrace.co.uk. No app, no login, no registration. For anyone with a phone.
Smart routing by context
Same plaque, different behaviour. Camera scan → public page. Engineer-app scan → the inspection workflow opens straight up.
Re-printable instantly
If a plaque is damaged or lost, generate and print a replacement from the portal. The door's ID and history stay intact.
Print them yourself. Or we'll print and ship.
No procurement loop. No vendor wait. Pick whichever fits the project.
Print in-house
Generate plaques directly from the portal. Print on any office printer. Apply on the next inspection visit. Zero procurement lead time.
